After 40 years of age, most people find it increasingly difficult to read or see clearly at close range. This condition known as presbyopia is a normal part of aging. It develops as the lens of the eye becomes less flexible and loses its ability to focus on near objects. Presbyopia should not be confused with hyperopia or farsightedness, which relates to the eyeball being too short, a feature that is present from birth.
